Jesus was a radical and, hence, countercultural and, as Christians, we are to be radical and countercultural as well! We are never to be satisfied with a status quo that allows assorted social ills such as poverty, corruption in institutions, discrimination of any kind, or the creation of out-groups that are then demonized and discriminated against “in the name of God,” to go unchallenged.

As Christians, we are called upon to “…destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.” (2Corinthians 10:4b-5) These “proud obstacles” come from a variety of sources, some of which come from much of the organized Church itself, and much of these posts will reflect concerns and critiques of such obstacles that are felt to thwart God’s will for our lives and for His Church.

To be “radical” denotes going to the “root” or origin of a phenomenon and elucidating its fundamentals. On this website,” Radical Christianity,” I seek to address a variety of political, economic, social, and religious issues by using as my compass point the fundamentals of Christianity as explicated in the words and works of Jesus. These issues will be dealt with within the framework of some major new items of the day.

On this website, I seek to highlight and explicate a radical Christianity as applied to a variety of contemporary issues in the hope of providing a Christian perspective often overlooked or missing from much of the discourse held in the media and within much of the organized Church as well. These articles have previously appeared in my weekly newspaper column entitled, "Christianity and Society," that appears in the Sacramento Valley Mirror and/or in the webzine, "Speak From The Heart," and/or in the Online magazine, "Whosoever."

As I write further articles dealing with "radical Christianity," as well as dig through my archives of relevant articles I have written over the years, I will add them to this site. In addition, I intend to invite certain people to write articles for this site from time to time that deal with relevant issues.

May this website provide a refreshing, provocative, forum for the civilized presentation of ideas that reflect Jesus’ commandments to trust God over and above seen circumstances, and to love other people by never tiring of doing good to liberate all those held captive by traditions that make void the Word of God (Matthew 15:3), as well as by all other religious and secular sources and forces. I very much hope that these and subsequent articles will move forward the cause of Christ and the betterment of Christ’s Church as well as secular society.
